This guidance deals in detail with England, Wales and
Scotland (legislation on firearms is reserved
to the Westminster Parliament). Firearms law is different in Northern Ireland
and Chapter 26 provides further information. However, this focuses more on arrangements for the transfer of firearms and ammunition
between the mainland and Northern Ireland.
Firearms law also differs in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The contacts listed
in Appendix 1 should be consulted for further information.
